albasuna 0 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Okay, I just need some tips on what site I should play for a begginer? I'll probably deposit either 50 or 100$. How should I deposit it? I don't have a debit card or credit card so I'm going to use my brothers for the time being. Is that a good idea or should I just get my own?-is there any possible way of a good depositing way instead of firepay or any other place where you have to make an account? *Is Canadian.

Is that a good idea or should I just get my own?-is there any possible way of a good depositing way instead of firepay or any other place where you have to make an account? *Is Canadian.I would suggest either PartyPoker or PokerStars. PokerStars has the advantage of a lot of really cheap tournaments of all flavors ($0.60 buy-in single-table-tournaments). Both have cheap, large multi-player tourneys.If you're more into cash-games, I'm not one to offer advice. I play cash games on Party, but normally just to get my bonuses.I started out with PartyPoker, but I think if I had it to do over again, I'd probably go with PokerStars, simply because there are so many low-stakes tourneys. I've been playing regularly since last October. I'm normally at the $10+1 level now, but unless you have a few hundred dollars to mess with, or don't plan on playing very often, I wouldn't recommend starting out at that level.As far as depositing, I don't think it's a good idea to use someone else's card. Most intermediaries allow direct deposit/withdrawal from your checking account, if that's an option for you. Link to post Share on other sites
subsin 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 DO NOT go to party poker, soooo many newbs if you play cash games, i think the tourneys are OK, i definately think pokerstars is better players, bonus wise, UB/fulltilt isnt bad, get a neteller account Link to post Share on other sites

wbbfan 0 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Winning the dead money generally helps most people get over the frustration.Yeah, bad beats are occasional. They don't happen a lot or on a regular basis.And at that, in the long run luck evens out. You'll take and give your fair share of bad beats. If your constantly losing races when you lead, your probably just gambing too much. Don't gamble with bad players, you want to beat them with your ability. It's slower but far, far more profitable.Good luck in your beginging, play tight and win lots. Link to post Share on other sites

Canary3 1 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 newbs = dead money yes But newbs = bad beats = total frustrationIm pretty sure ive talked about this with you before. First off, bad beats are part of the game and you will need to go used to them if you plan on playing poker at all. Bad players= more money Im not sure if you realize where the money comes from in poker..but it comes from bad players who make bad calls Link to post Share on other sites

[pokertracker?]No rakeback that I know of. I'd wait a few days to deposit, the hope being that PS will come out with a bonus opportunity because of the WCOOP. Sign up for Neteller. Don't have PT, but hear it's incredibly useful. Link to post Share on other sites
mikeysong 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 if you're going to play for fun, pokertracker isn't that important. But if you're really into stats, go ahead, it's a must for any serious online player. I think it's a $50 purchase. pokertracker.com i'm too lazy to go check Link to post Share on other sites
